http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill
A shill, plant or stooge is a person who helps a person or organization without disclosing that he or she has a close relationship with that person or organization.
Does that fact that he wrote a book for the same publisher constitute ‘a close relationship’? Me thinks no. :::Shill typically refers to someone who purposely gives onlookers the impression that he or she is an enthusiastic independent customer of a seller (or marketer of ideas) that he or she is secretly working for.
The review is detailed. This is not marketing.
What’s your problem?
